Born and educated in the UK she started out as an IT engineer and worked as a business partner with IBM, before being lured to Australia in 1996 by a relatively small IT company KAZ as a technical consultant, and later becoming technical manager.

Speaking of her appointment she said: “I am delighted to be joining the board of Kennards Hire, an iconic Australian family business with an exceptional values led culture. From the board level down, they recognise and understand the value of digital transformation and are embedding this across all areas of the business. I look forward to contributing to the team.”
